July 14th (Day 195) Bible Reading

1Ch 16:37 So he
left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren,
to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:

1Ch 16:38 And
Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of
Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

1Ch 16:39 And
Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the
LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

1Ch 16:40 To offer
burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually
morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the
law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

1Ch 16:41 And with
them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by
name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;

1Ch 16:42 And with
them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a
sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were
porters.

1Ch 16:43 And all
the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his
house.

1Ch 17:1
Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to
Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the
covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

1Ch 17:2 Then
Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is
with thee.

1Ch 17:3 And it
came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

1Ch 17:4 Go and
tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to
dwell in:

1Ch 17:5 For I
have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this
day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to
another.

1Ch 17:6
Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the
judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not
built me an house of cedars?

1Ch 17:7 Now
therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep,
that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

1Ch 17:8 And I
have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine
enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great
men that are in the earth.

1Ch 17:9 Also I
will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall
dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of
wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

1Ch 17:10 And
since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel.
Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD
will build thee an house.

1Ch 17:11 And it
shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be
with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of
thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

1Ch 17:12 He shall
build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

1Ch 17:13 I will
be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from
him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

1Ch 17:14 But I will
settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be
established for evermore.

1Ch 17:15
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did
Nathan speak unto David.

1Ch 17:16 And
David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD
God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

1Ch 17:17 And yet
this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken
of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me
according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

1Ch 17:18 What can
David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest
thy servant.

1Ch 17:19 O LORD,
for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all
this greatness, in making known all these great things.

1Ch 17:20 O LORD, there
is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according
to all that we have heard with our ears.

1Ch 17:21 And what
one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to
redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and
terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast
redeemed out of Egypt?

1Ch 17:22 For thy
people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD,
becamest their God.

1Ch 17:23
Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy
servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast
said.

1Ch 17:24 Let it
even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD
of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let
the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

1Ch 17:25 For
thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house:
therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

1Ch 17:27 Now
therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be
before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed
for ever.

1Ch 18:1
Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued
them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

1Ch 18:2 And he
smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

1Ch 18:3 And David
smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion
by the river Euphrates.

1Ch 18:4 And David
took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty
thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but
reserved of them an hundred chariots.

1Ch 18:5 And when the
Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the
Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

1Ch 18:6 Then
David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's
servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever
he went.

1Ch 18:7 And David
took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought
them to Jerusalem.

1Ch 18:8 Likewise
from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much
brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels
of brass.

1Ch 18:9 Now when
Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king
of Zobah;

1Ch 18:10 He sent
Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate
him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer
had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver
and brass.

1Ch 18:11 Them
also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he
brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the
children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

1Ch 18:12 Moreover
Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen
thousand.

1Ch 18:13 And he
put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the
LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

1Ch 18:14 So David
reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his
people.

1Ch 18:15 And Joab
the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud,
recorder.

1Ch 18:16 And
Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the
priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

1Ch 18:17 And
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
and the sons of David were chief about the king.
